I appreciate that Swim, but look how many doctors & nursing staff have died! If we put them into hospitals that only have Covid patients & then let them go home, how can we be sure they are not carrying the virus to their families & any travel they use.
If we are expected to believe that a few British people have spread this virus, unknowingly, to so many people then the only answer is to test everybody before they mix with others.
I appreciate that it may seem unfair to isolate the staff, but if you view it that way, maybe it was unfair to send young soldiers out to fight world wars, in the hope they would save many lives in Britain. Covid may not be as bad as the world wars, but it seems we are going to have it for some time, so we either have enforced isolation for all, or isolate the infected & those who look after them.
I have serious doubts about how quickly this virus has infected so many countries, but if it has been passed so easily why has nobody ever had it before? I know some viruses can mutate but
if China are innocent of accusations about them creating it, why didn't they immediately isolate the whole area it occurred in? It all seems a bit shady to me![/QUOTE]

My reply to Longdogs.
Totally agree, and I said the same a while back.
It was China who should have been isolated from day 1.
No one allowed to leave or enter, but no, people carried on travelling and flying from country to country regardless.
Then ex-pats were all shipped home from various places, bringing in even more contamination risk.
Meanwhile, China has got away scott-free with it.
In fact, in some ways they have probably profitted, because they have been churning out masks and equipment at super speed and flogging it to everyone else.
I wouldn't be surprised if they ' just happen' to be first to come up with a vaccine to flog, either.
I don't think Boris can possibly stop this virus now, and not just because it is Boris, I don't think
anybody else can, no matter who was in power.
